John's obituary

John M. Bito, 65, of Lakewood, OH, passed away on June 16, 2022 after his long battle with complex chronic illnesses.


Born November 22, 1956, to John & Rose Bito (DelGiudice). John was fiercely passionate about sports and coaching from the start and spent his life as a generous, loyal fan and coach to his friends and family, especially his sons.

After he graduated from Padua in 1975, John sponsored and coached local baseball teams and worked at St. Edwards Preparatory School in physical training for several years. John was a dedicated and involved father to his four sons. He was an avid reader, published writer, and enthusiastic conversationalist. John was predeceased by his parents, and his brother David Bito (Mary Jo) and his grandsons Freddie and Simon. John leaves behind his sons, Jonathan (Ana), Justin (Diana), Jeremy (Kali), and Jeffery (Gwen), his grandchildren, Elenor and Levi, his siblings Rosanne, Chris (Janet), and Karen, his life-long friend Joe Gunderman and his many nieces and nephews. The family will celebrate John's life in a private service on Sunday, June 26th.
